The Marlins announced Monday that general manager Kim Ng would not return in 2024.
The club decided to exercise its half of the mutual option in her contract, but Ng declined to exercise hers, allowing the executive to pursue other opportunities.
Ng led the Marlins for three seasons—overseeing the team as it clawed its way out of mediocrity to become a playoff team. Before coming to Miami, she had decades of experience in the game, including as senior vice president of baseball operations for the commissioner’s office and as an assistant GM with the Yankees and the Dodgers. Ng’s hiring in November 2020 was historic. She was the first female GM of a men’s big four professional sports team in North America and the first GM of East Asian descent in MLB. Now, she has chosen to depart on her own terms, citing a disagreement about the club’s direction with Marlins majority owner Bruce Sherman.
